此文档指定用于数据分析的过程以生成用于执行数据质量评估的基础。这种分析适用于最初位于表和列结构中的数据集，或者是创建这种结构的转换的输出。 注？1？数据分析适用于所有类型的数据库技术。 以下内容属于本文件的范围: -？执行结构分析以确定数据元素概念； -？执行列分析以识别相关数据元素，包括数据集的统计信息； -？执行关系分析，以确定数据集中的依赖关系。 以下内容不在本文件范围内: -？从数据集中提取和采样待分析数据的方法； -？推导数据规则； -？测量数据集中不合格的程度。 注2:ISO 8000-8规定了测量数据和信息质量的方法。 本文件可与质量管理体系标准结合使用，或独立于质量管理体系标准使用。

This document specifies a procedure for data profiling to generate the foundation for performing data quality assessment. This profiling is applicable to data sets that are either originally in a structure of tables and columns or are the output from a transformation to create such a structure. NOTE 1    Data profiling is applicable to all types of database technology. The following are within the scope of this document: —    performing structure analysis to determine data element concepts; —    performing column analysis to identify relevant data elements, including statistics about a data set; —    performing relationship analysis to identify dependencies in a data set. The following are outside the scope of this document: —    methods for extracting and sampling data to be profiled from a data set; —    deriving data rules; —    measuring the extent of nonconformities in a data set. NOTE 2    ISO 8000 8 specifies approaches to measuring data and information quality. This document can be used in conjunction with, or independently of, quality management systems standards.
